Yerevan /Mediamax/. The labor rights situation in Armenia is not in
line with the European Social Charter in 12 out of 17 provisions.
The annual report of European Social Charter published by the European
Committee of Social Rights today reads this.
According to the report, Armenia is in line only with "right to just
conditions of work: public holidays with pay" and "annual holiday
with pay" conditions.
The situation in Armenia is not line in 12 out of 17 provisions
including: "reasonable working hours", "weekly rest period",
"information on the employment contract", "increased remuneration for
overtime work", "limits to wage deductions", "right to conciliation
and arbitration and collection action (including strikes)".
In respect of the other 3 situations related to elimination of risks
in dangerous or unhealthy occupations, non-discrimination between
women and men with respect to remuneration and right to bargain
collectively: negotiation procedures, the Committee needs further
information in order to examine the situation.
At the same time, the Committee considered that the absence of the
information requested amounts to a breach of the reporting obligation
entered into by Armenia under the Charter. The Committee requested
the Armenian government to remedy that situation by providing this
information in the next report.
Armenia ratified the European Social Charter in January 2004.
